One of my favourite ways to relax and escape from the noise and frenetic clamour of humans is to disappear off on a long walk across the beach, fields or woods near my home. I take my camera and try to capture the contrast between a bright, clear sky background and sharp silhouetted detail in the foreground. Layers fascinate me. One of the shots I really love is of a statue taken through leaded glass windows in the grounds of a cathedral.
